Martin Kratt - Bare Feet Footage


I tried to search Kratts' Creatures on youtube...and this is what I found...with this description...

Martin Kratt, one of the stars of "Kratts' Creatures" and "Zaboomafoo", certainly seemed to prefer the barefoot life. This video contains clips and pictures of him that I obtained where he is barefoot. They are all from "Zaboomafoo". Sorry about the bad quality and lack of audio. It's the best I could do. If you have any better or additional clips (like the episode where Chris smells Martin's feet, or where the two brothers run with cheetas so fast that their toes burst out of their shoes) let me know!

A few interesting notes about Martin's feet: he wears a size 10 (Chris wears a size 8.5); and the little toe on his right foot seems to be oddly bent so that it rests on top of the toe next to it (making it look as if he only has four toes on his right foot in some shots).

Picture 1/Clip 1: Used at the end of various "Zaboomafoo" episodes to lengthen the show. After briefly highlighting the feet of bears, Martin attempts to climb a pole using his feet, but fails and ends up swinging freely from a beam as he states "Human bare feet aren't as good at climbing as bear bare feet."

Picture 2: Martin's brother, Chris, sniffs Martin's feet in an episode where the two go to the mountains to look for animals. Martin explains how a certain mouse has feet that stick to rocks easily. The camera pans down to show he is barefoot on a rock; Chris then sniffs Martin's toes and says "Martin has stinky feet!" Chris then insists that Martin put his shoes back on.

Clip 2: Martin and Chris build a hot tub to act as a hot spring for their new monkey friend. The camera just happens to pan by Martin's foot, which is propped up against the tub's edge.

Clip 3: Close-up of Clip 2.

Enjoy! And if this isn't your kind of video... don't comment! I'll gladly delete any comments that ignore this request.
